I really like the end, where the indigenous people navigated and piloted the boat. I hope there is an effort to promote the skills that had been passed down through the many generations.and less of the western culture. The end was by far the best. Well done

Absolutely Beautiful, when you made this voyage I was being sent home to the PI in a wheel chair from Iraq. I hope I am able to build one of these beautiful boats and sail it through Polynesia before I get too old to do it. I just need to learn how to sail, as I have always owned or worked on power boats.

[@TheBeaker59]

Sailing is a bit like riding a bike theres a certain skill threshold that once crossed is yours forever. That threshold for some people is easy for others it takes longer but always achievable.

Thanks for this. I've spent some time on sailboats but I've always been very attracted to wharram cats because of their tradition and ancientness ... and because of their beauty which speaks of and from another time. I am now living in my home country - Austria - I am a traditional woodworker and work as a shepherd high up in the alps ... but if I ever were to live at the sea I would build a wharram catamaran. no doubt. Thanks for this.

[@mikesmith8108]

Shows how smart James and Hanneke are. It will be interesting to see if In a generation the islanders are building big sailing double hulled canoes.

[@Bruin4Life]

Congratulations to these men of vision and to the Polynesians who sailed with them to prove that the Polynesians were sailing the oceans of the world long before the Europeans or any other peoples of the world. They were great, brave seaman and visionaries to go out and explore the world with only their native skills and knowledge of the seas and the skies.

Though the more publicized voyages such as the one made by Hokule'a didn't pass through the exact landings of the Austronesians, it is great to see that the original Seafarers of the Pacific, the Lapita get recognized :) It is very nice to see that the ancient canoes were built in the Philippine Archipelagoes, as it is postulated that maritime seafarers set out from Taiwan, through the Malay archipelago, and onwards to the rest of the islands in the South Pacific... and even Madagascar (and the New World!). Thanks for this Video :)

[@shekinahvanuatu]

The surrounding areas of the Philippines had inhabitants dated between 10,000 to 45,000 yrs. up north they discovered that humans lived about 900,000 thousand based on the traces of hunting. The Filipinos had the records as travelers and can easily mingle with any nationality with ease and can converse with anybody either by hand signal, facial signal naturally it is in their nature, and has the natural way of thinking ways to tackle obstacle putting natural solution not been done before. It is a gift very natural.

This is very related to Thor Heyerdahls major raft expeditions like Kon Tiki and Ra

[@StickyKeys187]

except this is historically accurate and actually happened. The balsa raft is just another daredevil stunt by the palagi.

[@larryariscon6383]

I do really believed that the Filipinos from Luzon especially from the southern part were the ones that traveled to this far flang areas...Sorsogon, which was a kingdom comprising Masbate, Samar were the fearless seamen long time ago plus there was abundance of big trees that lumbers are very strong. They were the dialect I heard that crossed to the natives of Palawan. Why is the Philippines the highest numbers of seamen? Because, it is embedded in the DNA and are not scared of the rough high seas. I also believed that they jumped one long distance island to another island without problem long time ago using sky chart for navigation.

[@TheBeaker59]

Indeed and like all explorers into the unknown they sailed upwind so they could get home if needed easily. Once another island is found they could return home and get supplies family etc and return to the new island thus hopping all the way across. Language and technology are often the only markers of origon.

[@islandvibez]

The Lapita people are most closely related to the present day Atayal populations in Taiwan, and to the Kankanaey tribes who live in the mountainous interior of Luzon. But this is all speculative, and bound to change as the experts look deeper into this underexplored aspect of the human rade.

First of all, the first word of question will be why the Sorsoganons, Samarinyos, boholanos, Masbatenyos, ilonggos, and Cebuanons and nearby areas uses the curse word " Pesteng Waya? The answer is or was that "Yahweh" used to lived with them or they have him there as their God Patron long time ago. They were guided by him to whatever they do. Another question why suddenly, they curse "Him" is the question wanted to know, Why? Was it because of big natural calamity happened long time ago and they were abondoned they got mad at "Him" losses faith at "Him"? I do really believed thru this was the ancient inhabitants of the ancient Philippines was fearless and abundant in many many things.

[@donnievance1942]

Are you unfamiliar with colloquial English? "Girls" is a term used as often as not to indicate young women. Or maybe you have some bull$h!t agenda that you're trying to insert into the commentary on this great film about Polynesian voyaging. When one says, "my girlfriend" or "my boyfriend," one is not indicating that one's partner is a child. But I suspect you already knew that. Troll.

None, because 1. early Polynesians were around ten of thousands of years ago whereas Christ was born only 2 thousands years ago and 2. Christianity was brought to the Pacific by Europeans in the 1800s. Before 200 years ago the Pacific had never even heard of Jesus.
